These are eight ways using the internet you can supplement your income

You can always make more money you just need to know how and these eight ideas can help you. If you are a native English language speaker and didn’t fall asleep in class you can easily become an English teacher on Skype. If you would rather write than talk then you can write romance novels, fiction, or even nonfiction ebooks. Anyone can be an author on Amazon but sites like Smashwords might be a little easier to get your book out there.

A good way to boost your budget a little bit, if you’ve already got a full-time job, is to find an additional source of income. This should be something that doesn’t require too much of your time, as you still want to have some free time left for yourself in the day, but still pays decently well.

The best way to make money is to always involve your passion. A website that allows you to display your talents is Fiverr. This is a platform where people list what service they can provide from drawing cartoons to teaching you basket weaving. You always want to find a niche that you can specialize in so that you stand out from the crowd as this will allow people to find you easily and you can become an expert in your niche.

http://www.tsbmag.com/2015/03/03/will-you-pay-to-use-tinder/#commentsTue, 03 Mar 2015 20:34:47 +0000http://www.tsbmag.com/?p=48763Yesterday, after a right-swiping spree on Tinder, I hit the little green heart icon for a potential match when, inexplicably, a screen popped up telling me I had used all my right swipes for the day. It included a stop watch counting down from 12 hours, when I could continue.

And so, with little warning, Tinder has introduced (imposed, really) Tinder Plus on its audience, which spans 50 million users worldwide. The Plus version offers unlimited right swipes, the ability to change your location (a useful tool if you travel frequently) and the ability to “rewind”, or go back to a profile that you accidentally swiped left so you can swipe right.

When you’ve hit your limit of right swipes for the day, you’re shown this screen.

I’m 25 years old, so Tinder is trying to charge me $9.99 per month for the Plus account. The amount they’re charging, according to multiple sources, varies based on age (the older you are, the more you pay) and location (if you’re located in a developing country, you might only have to pay a few dollars per month).

Conventional business wisdom says that it’s hard to get your customers to start paying for a product/service they’re used to getting from you for free. Tinder could have created Plus as a way for users to acquire additional features, such as the rewind and location changer, while leaving unlimited swiping in tact for everyone.

To the left of the X icon that you use to swipe left, there is now a rewind icon. When you press it, but you don’t have a Plus account, you’re shown this screen.

So it remains to be seen how much of a backlash Tinder will face from longtime users, at least some of whom figure to boycott Tinder Plus. Or maybe for some users it won’t make much of a difference. You’re allowed about 90 to 100 free right swipes every day, according to sources, so maybe that’s sufficient for most users. I don’t know how many times the average user swipes right, but the 21 million matches per day Tinder generates worldwide will likely take a bit of a nosedive.

With Tinder Plus, you can change locations so you’re not confined to seeing possible matches in your current location.

Tinder Plus users won’t have to see ads that Tinder plans on implementing for its free version in the near future.

While I question the logic in the execution of Tinder Plus, and what could prove to be a foolish decision to ask users to pay for a feature they’ve been getting all along, it remains to be seen what effects the onset of Tinder Plus will have on the company’s users and its bottom line.

The Girl: An extremely sexy woman in a short black dress and brilliantly shiny raven hair to match.

Her response to my “Hey”:“FUCK OFF, DOUCHEBAG! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!”

I don’t care if your confidence is as rock hard as the abs on an olympic gymnast… blowouts like that STING!

Which is exactly why I must remind myself from time to time…

Rogue Rule #44: “One Vagina, One Vote!”

The night of my horrific blowout, I turned to the closest girl within earshot and approached her with “What the fuck was THAT all about!??”

She instantly started giggling… almost as much as she would be “gaggling” on my cock less than 2 hours later.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering… as sexy as the 1st girl was, the 2nd was a BIG step up — Kinda glad I got blown out by Ms. Ravenhair in retrospect. Otherwise, I may never have had the chance to upgrade to Ms. Cumontits.

With this story in mind, I answer this week’s question from Jay Y. of Brentwood, CA:

“Hi Nick. My question is… What do you do when you get blown out with all your advances and then have to continue to walk past the hottie in your area. Isn’t it embarrassing to continue to run into someone after she has blown you out? Do you then blank her out or acknowledge her?”

A fair question and there are two different categories in which I can imagine your situation:

The hottie in question is someone you approached in a social setting like a bar or club but fumble-fucked the interaction (or maybe she just sucked… which you’ll find is more often the case the better you get at mastering the gentle art of seduction); OR…

The hottie in question is someone who lives nearby, works nearby, or is in your social circle and that’s why you keep running into her.

If your situation falls into the first category, then I wouldn’t give 2 flying fucks if I see her again. I’d go about my business chasing other tail.

Admittedly, there’s a really hard feeling to shake; the absurd but ever-present notion that all the women in the room are psychically connected at the snatch… that they all know to just know to close their legs and shut you down after one girl has turned down your advances…

But this ISN’T true… Not by a long shot.

Frankly, if she rejects you or if the interaction begins to sour, you have absolutely NO obligation to continue…

Rogue Rule #217: “Always feel free to leave on a low note”.

Do an “about face” and approach the very next girl you see if things aren’t going the way you’d like… You’re out to hook up tonight and a large part of that means discovering the worthy, most likely candidates. Respect your own damn time and spend not a single second on any girl who’s going to waste it.

More likely, however, I think Jay is referring to someone he crosses paths with from time to time while going about his daily routine. As you can imagine, I have a rule for that too…

Rogue Rule #99:“If you’re only meeting eyes from afar, you’re not even on her radar!”

It’s time to get over yourself. In the global scheme of things, you’re really no more important to her than some acne-scarred, double-chinned troll sucking down Double Whoppers like chiclets is to you.

… So don’t worry about her!

You just continue doing your thing and you’ll score a much hotter hottie.

But just the mere mention of this theme gets me a-thinking of a classic mistake would-be seducers make…

Rogue Rule #117: “Wise man say, only fools rush in (… into every prospect of poon!)!”

Only the uncalibrated amateur takes unnecessary and reckless chances on women with whom he’ll have to interact in the future.

Noobs read “The Game” or some other pickup guide, and start using crappy opinion openers and “negging” bullshit on girls in their social circle… until they become that creepy guy no one wants to invite to anything.

Yes, “that guy,” so make absolutely sure you’re not “that guy.”

Granted, you gotta get your reps in, but do so in CONSEQUENCE-FREE ENVIRONMENTS — bars, clubs, during the day with girls outside your career and social circles — until you’ve honed your seduction chops. This will allow you to sidestep weirding out your friends, co-workers, AND that cute girl next door!

To contrast, the pro takes calculated and intentional risks only… because he’s calibrated enough to start raiding his and other social circles for the sweetest, prize tail…

So there you have it Jay — Go and do likewise, sir.

I’ll see you in next week’s installment of Rogue Rules entitled “Sure Signs That Sex Has Been Secured!”

Get Some!

Nick RogueYour Personal Seduction Mentor

PS… Ever have one of those “off nights” where you just can’t get fired up to approach women?

It’s an all too familiar scenario: a runner begins a new training program and a month later they feel some pain in their knees. Then during their next jog, injury strikes and the program goes right out the window. New runners are often guilty of pushing their bodies past the point of exhaustion, or fail to put proper injury prevention methods in place. It is true that a comprehensive injury prevention routine can be time consuming and is something which many professional athletes devote hours to.

Maintain good posture by imagining there is a string attached to your head and someone is pulling it straight up toward the sky. This will prevent you from leaning forward and keep your back straight.

2. Don’t Get Too Crazy With Your Training

Instead, follow a smart running program that will have you build mileage and increase speed gradually. Try to adhere to the 10 Percent Rule (or even something less aggressive than that) if you’ve been struggling. The 10 Percent Rule simply states that you shouldn’t increase your mileage by more than 10 percent per week. However, there are exceptions to even this rule.

Smart traders, insiders, and indicators are telling a tale that it might be time to sell in this bull market

Energy prices are not the only thing weighing the economy down. Companies are taking advantage of almost free money (money at very low interest rates) to get involved in stock buyback programs. This just ends up increasing the liabilities on the balance sheet which measures how much money a company owes it’s lenders.

In this cycle, stocks have been powered higher by debt-fueled share buyback programs which, as any corporate finance textbook will tell you, increases the “gearing” or operating leverage of a company. That means that not only could the economy be pulled down by the drop in earnings, but stocks could be more sensitive to the drop in profitability because of the higher fixed costs associated with servicing all that new debt.

The article lists some good ideas of what to watch out for. The first thing I looking at forward earnings to see if they are increasing or decreasing overall. You also have to consider factory output activity and see if commodity prices are increasing or declining. An increase in commodity prices suggests high demand but when looking at this metric you also want to see if projects are coming online and being delayed as an indication of supply for commodities. A few other things to consider for the health of the economy are consumer prices and what insiders might be saying, do they feel strongly or negatively?

All relationships go through their fair share of ups and downs, so no one should be jumping ship at the first sign of trouble. We tend to want to work things out with people that we like and have already invested time on, which can create a sort of blinders situation when all signs start pointing towards breakup city. Here are some ways to know that your relationship is past the point of no return and that it’s really time to breakup.

There’s Some Serious Fighting Going On

A spat here and there is expected, but most of your communication should be coming from a productive and honest place. If you suddenly find yourself fighting dirty when it comes to talking to your girl, that’s not a good sign. Would you really want to insult someone that you cared about by hitting her below the belt about her daddy issues? Hopefully not. If you’re surprising yourself with how mean you actually be it might be time to think about why.

Same goes for the scenario where she’s throwing down the painful blows. You don’t need to put up with someone who is intent on hurting you to keep their own sense of power and control in a relationship. If your fights start to escalate increasingly quickly or pour over into public settings, take a step back to clear your head and evaluate what’s really going on.

You Don’t Feel Like Yourself Anymore

You haven’t felt like yourself lately…but in a bad way. All relationships have the potential to change both parties involved and they should to the extent that it’s positive growth and expansion. But if you picked up a weird gossiping habit, fell off your gym routine, or just feel irritated under the surface a lot of the time it might be a sign that something is amiss.

This can happen from getting too comfortable in a relationship, and it can also happen when there’s pressure from the other person to mold into their life somehow. Neither should be occurring to the extreme. Overall you should both want to be with the person in front of you, not the people who you might possibly become with a little peer pressure.

If this is happening in your relationship it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything wrong with her, but maybe together you’re not creating the right kind of sparks. Any long term relationship should feel like it’s going somewhere in multiple ways. But all of them up.

You’re Uninterested In Sex

Arguably sex and intimacy is more important to some people than others, but let’s be honest you should want to sleep with your girlfriend. Otherwise maybe she’s just a girl friend, not girlfriend material. If you’ve lost those loving feelings you might first check in with the rest of your life, because stress of any kind can affect the carnal desires. But if you have plenty of drive just not for her, do you both a favor and get out sooner rather than later. Especially if her hotness for you hasn’t dipped and you’re having to deny the girl.

If you open up a text conversation with a “Hey” or “Hi, how are you going?” the conversation is not going to go very far. While simple openers do work in real life, in texting you have to be more engaging. She may not bother replying to a boring message, and then you will just look desperate by messaging her again.

Address her by name

Women like it when you use their names. If you don’t remember her name, or you are not sure of the spelling, give her a playful nickname. Calling her “crazy girl” will work if she is the life of the party, while something like “Miss Mysterious” would be better if she is more the shy and quiet type.

Tell her who it is

You have asked her for her number, but have not given her yours. You then spend hours composing the perfect text, only to receive the reply “Who is this?” because you were too absent-minded to include your name. Keep it simple and tell her who you are near the start of the text. So far, your text should like something like “Hey Simone, this is Matthew”. Nothing flirty so far (unless you have used a nickname for her), but that is the next step.

If you are now in damage control mode after forgetting to include your name in the first text, you can save face and introduce some flirting by making her guess who you are in subsequent texts.

Make a reference to when you met

Make reference to an in-joke or something that happened. Try to make it funny. If you honestly have nothing to go on, use a generic phrase such as “it was lovely to meet you”. Note that you should not substitute in the word “great” for “lovely” in this instance, as it is much less romantic. You should also avoid going overboard. If you say it was “wonderful” or “incredible” to meet you, you will come off as too intense.

Set up a date

Do not be afraid to set up a date too soon. The sooner you do this in your text conversation, the better. I would suggest you even do it in the first text. Give her some semblance of concrete plans. Rather than ask if she wants to go out sometime, tell her that there is a new restaurant opening (for example) and you’d like to try it tomorrow, and ask if she is keen.

Putting it together

All put together, your perfect first text will look something like that:

“Hey Simone, this is Matthew. It was lovely meeting you last night. There’s a street festival on in the city tomorrow night, would you be keen to accompany me?”

This gets straight to the point. Note that if she never replies, it is because she is not interested. Do not take this as your cue to send yet more texts. There is nothing you can say from this point that will not make you look desperate.

When we sit for the majority of the day, our back is the one that suffers most. We wake up fresh and feeling good in the morning, only to end up perched on a seat for hours, slouched over and putting a whole lot of weight on our spines. Or maybe you don’t, maybe you have a active lifestyle, but whether you do or you don’t, back pain is something that can strike us down at any moment.

One wrong turn, a twist, bad posture when you pick up that box, and crippled we become. Fortunately there are exercises we can perform specifically for back pain. You don’t need to cancel the day, you don’t need to lie down for 5 hours and have your significant other cater to your every need. You can start by performing one of these 10 quick exercises for back pain, nicely put together for us by Breaking Muscle’s Meghan Rovig:

The discs that make up our spine are super-hydrated and fat when we wake in the morning. Sounds good, right?

But as we sit through the day, our hip flexors tighten, our glutes quit working, and our discs lose fluid. In this position, we don’t engage our transverse abdominis, so our lumbar spine has little muscular support. Needless to say, if we go all day in this scenario, our lumbar spine has a bad time.

In the upcoming exercises, there are specific prescriptions for each movement based on what we now know about muscle physiology, disc and lumbar spine health, and research.

Read the rest of the article for all the specific exercises, including a great and informative description the way our muscles and tendons work.

http://www.tsbmag.com/2015/02/28/learn-how-to-reduce-inflammation-to-improve-your-health/#commentsSat, 28 Feb 2015 19:55:34 +0000http://www.tsbmag.com/?p=48738There is quite a bit of information floating around regarding inflammation in our bodies, which is often caused by stress, food, and injuries.

Contrary to popular opinion, inflammation is not always bad, and in fact, is often times very good. However, too much inflammation and you have a problem.

What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation is our body’s natural response to potentially dangerous pathogens, such as bacteria, chemicals, irritants, injuries, poisonous substances, etc. This reaction helps to prevent infection from spreading and causing a lot of damage to our health.

Think of an injury that you have had before, like a sprained ankle, or a broken finger. After the injury, you probably experienced a lot of swelling and pain. It lasted a short period of time while your body attempted to heal itself, and then it went away.

The same goes with a bacteria infection. Your throat might swell up, and your sinuses clog. You feel horrible. After a few intense days to a week, however, everything is back to normal.

This is a sign of proper health!

The issue in regards to inflammation is the longevity of the inflammation. Acute inflammation, which is normally intense and lasts only a short period of time, is healthy and necessary for our survival.

Chronic inflammation, or inflammation that lasts for a very long time, causes a wide range of health issues.

Healthy, acute inflammation often turns into chronic inflammation over time if certain things occur.

So What Causes Chronic Inflammation?

The main reasons for chronic inflammation are:

– The Body Attacks Itself!

This is the basis of an auto-immune disease. There is still a lot we do not know about auto-immune disorders, but in the cases of such diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, the body mistakes its own tissues for dangerous pathogens.

– The Acute Inflammation Failed

For some reason, the acute inflammatory response was unsuccessful, and as a result, what was once a healthy, natural acute reaction, became an unhealthy chronic response, causing long-term inflammation.

– Stress

Stress is also a major cause of inflammation. When we are stressed, our bodies cause cortisol, which is our body’s regulator of inflammation, to not be able to function as it should.

In a recent study, the “common cold” virus was “given” to 276 seemingly healthy adults. They were then put in quarantine for 5 days where they were observed to see the effects of the disease. The study showed that individuals who experienced more prolonged stress were much more susceptible to the disease than those who were not stressed.

There are numerous other studies that have similar results, but you get the point. Stress negatively affects cortisol, which disrupts the inflammatory response, which causes inflammation.

– Other reasons for chronic inflammation include sugar consumption, obesity, lack of sleep, and irritants.

Diet And Inflammation

Diet has been shown to have a very big effect on inflammation. Sugar has been shown to have a very negative effect on inflammation. According to American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, foods that are high in sugar cause inflammation in our bodies to increase.

When we consume lots of processed sweets, an increase in AGE’s, which are proteins attached to glucose, occurs. These AGE’s cause damage to proteins, and, as a result, our immune system attempts to break down these molecules. This results in inflammation and a potential for diseases such as arthritis and heart disease occurs.

I want to clarify one thing before I continue. Not all sugar is bad. If you are consuming sugar from whole foods, such as fruit, it is not a problem. It is only a problem when it is found in processed sweets, cakes, cookies, fruit juices, etc., as there is no fiber and other nutrients typically found in other “whole” foods.

There are certain foods known to be inflammatory while others are known to be anti-inflammatory.

I have comprised a list below to help you make better food choices.

Foods That Cause Inflammation

– Sugar

– Processed grains

– Trans-fats

– Gluten

– Dairy

– Tobacco

– Artificial sweeteners

– Soy, canola, and cottonseed oil

– Commercially-raised meat

– Alcohol

Foods That Are Anti-Inflammatory

– Wild-caught Salmon

– Grass-fed beef

– Avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and olive oil

– Fruits (specifically blueberries and fruits that are orange and yellow)

– Vegetables (especially green, leafy vegetables)

– Nuts

– Beans

– Cocoa

– Turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic

– Cannabis

– Fish Oil

– Mushrooms

– Green Tea

– Apple cider vinegar

So there you have it! Eat more anti-inflammatory foods, eat less inflammatory foods, get more sleep, limit stress and anxiety in your life, exercise, and be a healthy weight, and you should have no problems with chronic inflammation!

http://www.tsbmag.com/2015/02/28/recover-and-refuel-what-to-eat-after-a-workout/#commentsSat, 28 Feb 2015 15:35:59 +0000http://www.tsbmag.com/?p=48461

Most people already know that athletes have to be incredibly cautious about what they eat. Snacks and meals have to be meticulously planned to ensure that the right nutrients are accessed to meet high performance goals. However, if you’re not an athlete – you still want to make sure that you’re getting the right nutrition after your workout. In general, you should be looking to achieve thirty to sixty minutes of exercises on a number of days during the week, so what should you be eating to support that level of activity?

Typically, if you already adhere to a healthy diet, and ensure that you get enough calories for energy, then you should be able to focus on your own appetite and experience to learn whether you might need to eat something different. The basic rule that should be followed most of the time is: find out what works well for you.

There are a number of advantages to learning more about how your body works, and what you need to provide it with in order to ensure it runs at optimum performance. The bottom line for fitness may seem simple enough: just eat less calories than you use – but you also need to make sure you aren’t restricting yourself from peak performance. The timing, size, and content of your post-workout meals can be essential for the recovery and rebuilding process that takes place after some hard work and exercise. Here’s what you should be drinking and eating, to grasp that body that you want.

Breaking Down Your Foods

The foods that you consume after a workout should typically contain one of four things: calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat. However, it’s important to make sure that you get the right ratio of these substances, otherwise you could be ruining all of your hard work.

First of all, try to eat about 50% of the amount of calories that you burned in the workout. This means that if you burn 800 calories, you need to eat 400 calories afterwards. Don’t stress over the idea that you might be undoing the calorie-burning benefits of your fitness regime – as long as you stick to your recommended calorie range, you should be on track for your goals.

About 60% of the calories that you eat post-workout should be taken from carbohydrates. Though you might have heard otherwise, your body actually needs more carbohydrates than protein after exercise, to replace muscle fuel. However, Protein should make up about 25% of the calories you eat after your workout, as this will help to repair and rebuilt your muscles.

Fat shouldn’t play much of a role in your post-workout regime, as this won’t help your fitness endeavors much. Less than 15% of your post-workout calories should be attributed to fat.

There are a number of great foods that will help to provide you with a couple of nutrition boosts in one go.

What to Eat After a Workout

1. Salmon

Salmon provides you with a huge dose of protein, as well as the anti-inflammatory benefits of omega-3, which can help you to rebuild your muscles and improve your performance the next time you hit the gym.

2. Pineapple

Pineapple is brimming with a substance called bromelain, which is a form of natural anti-inflammatory, capable of healing sprains, swelling and bruises. These fruits are also a standout source of vitamin C, which make them excellent at repairing tissue.

3. Bananas

Bananas count as part of the good carbohydrates that you need to pack your body with after a workout. Fast-acting, they help to restore the glycogen levels in your body, which are responsible for rebuilding damaged muscles. On top of that, you also get a healthy dose of potassium.

4. Eggs

Eggs are about seventy calories each, and every delicious little portion comes with 6.4 grams of protein. Furthermore, eggs are actually one of the few foods in the world that naturally contain Vitamin D, which is beneficial for your body. Don’t be fooled by all the workout videos that try to convince you raw eggs are the better option though – they have no advantage over cooked eggs. In fact, cooking the eggs will allow your body to absorb twice the protein.

5. Kiwi

Kiwi’s combine significant amounts of potassium and vitamin C into one small serving. On top of that, they also provide a marvelous source of antioxidants, which can help to get rid of that uncomfortable muscle soreness that sets in after exercise.
